I bet WWF cant wait to put its label on the packaging.

They want you to think killing tuna is good for the environment

"This product helps protect coastlines and waterways."

How is this legal?

This product contributes to the PROTECTION OF COASTS AND WATERS by:

Use of feed from sustainable production

Refrain from preventive treatment with antibiotics

More space per animal

Non-genetically modified feed

Avoidance of synthetic dyes in feed

How does that say "killing tuna is good for the environment"?

Isn't it kinda obvious it's a comparison to other tuna? Best for the environment would be to kill yourself and not eat anything.

That's quite a wild difference from claiming killing tuna saves the environment.

This is saying they only use farmed tuna from sustainable sources, instead of just fishing them from the wild and reducing native populations, as well as not using drugs, GMOs, or synthetic dyes with those farmed fish.
